BRATTLEBORO — Seven Brattleboro Union High School seniors will play in a Rotary All Star Hockey Classic game on March 24 in Essex. Vermont teams will play against each other, with the girls leading off at 4 p.m. and the boys contest following at 6 p.m.

After helping the Colonel girls to the No. 5 seed in the Division 2 Tournament, Axis Balsley-Petraska, Jamie Mahoney, Olivia Stent, Kharisma Boyd and Chulie Vinton will play for Team Harris in the Rotary Classic.

Balsley-Petraska had a hat trick in the first period of a game in early February and later put away a Lila Alexander feed to beat North Country 2-1 in overtime. Mahoney delivered a game-winner in OT versus Union-32.

Stent, a senior captain, had one goal and one assist during a 5-3 decision over Burr and Burton this season. Boyd applied plenty of pressure during her team's 4-1 win over Hartford, while one of Vinton's best games came against the team from Manchester according to coach Linda Burke.

Brattleboro's Kam Pelkey and Mason Powers will both be members of Team Austin in the boys Rotary Classic. Pelkey finished the season with six goals and 16 assists, while Powers lit the lamp eight times and also set up his teammates for nine tallies.

The dynamic duo helped the Colonels to a 7-12-1 record during the regular season and the No. 8 seed in the Division 2 playoffs.
